Notes

Yarn - wonderful. Held up to at least four false starts on various projects before being worked up in this.

Combination of small on gauge and massive head meant I worked up the largest size. Will need to add elastic to ribbing at some point…

The corridale is a lovely yarn with slight halo and warmth, but has a firmness that allows the cables to to pop, and it holds the structure well, without heavy blocking. (just blocked over a 9’’ plate)

Not a super soft yarn like merino or BFL the corridale is warmer, harder wearing yarn that doesn’t pill.
